ONCE  upon  a  time,  so  the  story  goes,  there  was  a  rich  nobleman 
who  traveled  far  and  wide  in  order  that  he  might  enjoy  the 
comforts  of  the  inns  he  visited  and  sample  the  splendid  food 
and  wines  which  graced  their  tables.    It  is  related  that  in  his  search  for 
excellent  fare  and  comfortable  lodgings,  he  sent  one  of  his  servants  on 
ahead  to  test  the  amenities  of  those  places  which  might  be  worthy  of 
a  visit. 

It  was  agreed  that  the  servant  would  leave  a  sign  on  the  doorpost  of 
the  inn,  by  which  the  master  would  know  whether  to  turn  aside  in 
order  to  sample  its  wares  and  to  take  his'  ease.  If  the  quality  of  these 
were  above  ordinary,  the  symbol  to  be  written  on  the  doorpost  was 
the  word  "Est." 

Should  the  servant  discover  the  wines  and  foods  to  be  of  unusual 
excellence,  he  was  to  repeat  the  symbol  twice,  "Est.  Est."  One  day, 
having  come  far  by  a  road  so  untraveled  that  he  might  easily  have 
missed  his  way,  the  man  came  upon  a  quaint  and  charming  inn,  deep 
by  the  roadside,  and  upon  approaching  closer,  observed  that  his  servant 
had  written  upon  the  doorpost  "Est.  Est.  Est."  So  enamoured  of  the 
place  did  the  master  become  that  he  lingered  on  and  on.  In  fact,  his 
journey  was  ended,  for  here  he  sojourned  the  rest  of  his  days,  deep  in 
the  conviction  that  it  represented  the  "ne  plus  ultra"  of  his  years  of 
search. 


Companion  to  "Adventures  in  Good  Eating." 

In  "Adventures  in  Good  Eating"  many  motor  car  pilgrims  have  found 
a  reliable  servant  who  has  gone  ahead,  as  it  were,  and  posted  the  places 
where  pleasant  and  satisfying  meals  are  to  be  had.  This  companion 
volume,  "Lodging  for  a  Night,"  has  been  prepared  in  response  to  an 
encouraging  and  insistent  demand  from  those  who  have  found  "Adven- 
tures" so  useful.  It  is  hoped  that  one  will  become  the  complement  of 
the  other,  for  there  is  a  natural  and  logical  sequence  between  eating 
and  sleeping.  Regardless  of  the  sequence,  however,  certain  it  is  that 
good  meals  and  comfortable  lodgings  en  route  add  immeasurably  to  the 
enjoyment  of  a  trip. 


No  advertising  accepted. 

It  is  my  firm  purpose  to  follow  the  same  scrupulous  policy  as  to  the 
material  included  in  "Lodging  for  a  Night"  that  I  have  pursued  in  the 
selection  of  places  for  listing  in  "Adventures."  No  place  listed  has  paid 
one  cent  directly  or  indirectly  to  secure  mention  in  this  book  and  there 
is  no  space  for  sale.  You  paid  for  unprejudiced,  reliable  information 
when  you  purchased  this  book  and  your  money  is  the  only  revenue  to 
which  I  am  entitled. 

It  is  my  hope  that  your  support  and  co-operation  will  make  this 
companion  volume  eventually  self-supporting.  With  this  I  will  be 
content,  for  the  labor  of  gathering  and  editing  this  material  has  of 
itself  been  fascinating,  and  the  host  of  interesting  friends  I  have  made 
has  been  no  little  reward  for  me. 

I  shall  consider  it  a  great  favor  if  you  will  write  me  (in  detail) 
about  any  place  listed  in  this  book,  which  in  your  opinion  definitely 
should  not  be  included  in  future  printings. 

What  makes  for  comfortable  lodging. 

What  points  should  we  consider  in  deciding  what  places  shall  qualify 
for  listing  in  "Lodging  for  a  Night"?  In  my  opinion  the  following  are 
all  important: 

(a)  Cleanliness  throughout — not  only  clean  linen  but  clean  bedding 
also. 

(b)  Quietness — freedom  from  traffic  and  other  noises  as  well  as  dis- 
turbing movements  or  conversations  of  other  guests. 

(c)  Comfortable  beds — science  has  made  remarkable  advance  in  the 
design  of  mattresses  within  recent  years  and  there  is  nothing  so 
conducive  to  restful   sleep   as  a   bed  equipped  with  comfortable 
springs  and  mattress. 

(d)  Courteous,  adequate  and  unobtrusive  service.  Most  of  us  like  to 
have  our  wants  anticipated.  While  we  insist  upon  service  that  is 
adequate  and  readily  available,  we  do  not  wish  to  be  overwhelmed 
with  it.  Neither  do  we  desire  to  be  reminded  constantly  of  the 
service  being  rendered — the  more  unobtrusive  it  is,  the  more  it  is 
appreciated. 

(e)  Hospitality  is  that  quality  of  homelikeness  that  makes  our  sojourn 
pleasant  and  inspires  in  us  the  desire  to  return  again.   Whether  our 
host  is  manager  of  a  swanky  thousand-room  property  or  the  keeper 

vi 


of  a  modest  inn,  upon  his  genius  (and  I  say  genius  for  it  requires 
no  ordinary  ability  to  dispense  hospitality  impartially  to  all  guests) 
and  cordial  personality  depends  the  atmosphere  of  friendliness 
which  prevails. 

It  has  always  seemed  to  me  that  a  peculiar  responsibility  attaches 
to  the  functions  of  an  innkeeper.  He  is  expected  to  radiate  a  spirit  of 
welcome  to  those  who  seek  the  shelter  of  his  caravansary;  he  must  be 
ever  solicitous  of  the  comfort  of  his  guests;  he  must  evidence  such 
charity  toward  those  he  takes  in  that  he  is  often  "taken  in"  himself 
by  reason  of  his  own  benevolence;  he  must  be  a  diplomat  in  even  his 
most  casual  dealings  with  those  who  sit  before  his  hearthstone;  he  is 
charged  with  the  safety  of  all  who  tarry  under  the  protection  of  his 
roof;  he  must  provide  so  agreeably  for  the  enjoyment  of  all  who  sign 
his  register  that  they  will  leave  reluctantly  and  will  long  to  return 
again ;  and  withal,  he  must  exact  a  modest  tribute  substantial  enough  to 
yield  a  profit  if  he  is  to  stay  in  business. 

Where  is  that  innkeeper,  you  say? 

Of  course  the  ideal  innkeeper  is  even  harder  to  find  than  the  much 
maligned  honest  lawyer.  But  I  know  the  manager  of  one  of  the  largest 
and  most  famous  hotels  in  America's  largest  city  where  every  member 
of  the  staff  reflects  the  fine  tradition  of  the  innkeeper's  profession.  And 
I  know  the  operators  of  a  score  or  more  quaint  and  quiet  country  inns 
where  the  host  takes  personal  pride  in  looking  after  the  welfare  of 
his  guests. 

The  keeper  of  the  inn  is  not  an  extinct  species  by  any  means,  but  the 
fact  remains  that,  as  in  the  business  of  feeding  people,  a  distressingly 
large  proportion  of  those  who  offer  shelter  to  the  weary  pilgrim  for  a 
night,  lack  any  adequate  conception  of  their  job,  even  if  they  are  not 
actually  incompetent. 

Types  of  accommodations — Hotels. 

Of  the  three  types  of  accommodations  which  I  have  chosen  for  listing 
in  this  book,  hotels  seem  to  have  the  preference.  I  believe  that  habit 
is  in  large  part  responsible  for  this,  as  well  as  the  fact  that  a  first-class 
hotel  carries  an  established  reputation  and  offers  certain  recognized 
conveniences. 

But  it  is  my  opinion  that  hotel  management  has  shown  a  definite 
lack  of  ability  to  co-ordinate  its  facilities  with  the  requirements  of 
modern  motor  car  travel.  I  feel  sure  that  the  hotels  could  easily  increase 

vii 


their  business  if  they  would  give  consideration  to  the  following  prob- 
lems: 

(a)  Allow  time  and  space  at  or  near  the  entrance  for  the  unhurried 
unloading   of  cars  belonging   to   guests.   There   is  altogether  too 
much  space  occupied  by  taxis  and  local  cars  and  if  unloading  does 
not  proceed  rapidly  enough  to  suit  them,  they  evidence  their  an- 
noyance by  noisily  honking  their  horns. 

(b)  Work  out  the  garage  problem  so  that  someone  would  accept  re- 
sponsibility for  safety  of  articles  left  in  a  car,  as  well  as  damage 
to  the  car  itself  while  in  their  charge.  My  new  car  (with  less  than 
a  thousand  miles  on  it)   was  delivered  recently  to  me  at  my  hotel, 

!  with  a  deep  scar  the  length  of  the  body  where  it  had  scraped 
against  some  projecting  surface.  Yet  no  one  knew  how  it  had 
happened.  It  is  almost  naive  the  way  hotel  management  disclaims 
responsibility. 

(c)  Stop  admiring  their  Louis  XIV  lounges  and  provide  a  couple  of 
reception  rooms  near  the  entrance  where  guests  who  have  been 
riding  all  day  may  drop  their  bags,  rearrange  their  clothing,  and 
have  the  clerk  come  to  them  to  register.  Then  with  accommoda- 
tions assigned,  they  can  slip  into  an  adjacent  elevator  and  be  con- 
ducted to  their  rooms. 

Motorists  who  have  come  several  hundred  miles  covered  with  the 
dust  of  travel  and  fatigued,  do  not  like  to  parade  through  a  "Pea- 
cock Alley"  with  local  satellites  gazing  at  them  over  their  lorgnettes 
and  pince  nez  as  much  as  to  say,  "Did  God  make  you,  too?" 

(d)  Think  of  something  they  can  do  to  make  their  hotel  remembered 
well  and  favorably.  An  evening   (not  morning)    paper   (when  the 
guest  has  time  to  scan  it  and  it  is  the  more  appreciated)  ;  perhaps 
a  small  vase  of  fresh  flowers  or  a  bowl  of  fruit  for  which  the  local- 
ity may  be  famous.  Provide  current  information  in  the  room  as  to 
events,  places  of  special  interest  to  see,  where  the  leading  movie 
houses  are   (giving  specific  directions  how  to  get  there  from  the 
hotel)    and  what  pictures  are  being  shown.   (Good  examples:  the 
information  placed  in  each  guest  room  by  the  Fryemont  Inn  at 
Bryson  City,  North  Carolina,  the  Lee  Hoffman  Hotel,  Cresson,  Pa., 
or  the  Waldorf-Astoria  in  New  York.) 

(e)  Put  at  least  two  comfortable  chairs  in  a  six-dollar  room. 

Only  progressive  action  by  hotel  management  along  these  or  simi- 
lar lines  can  change  the  trend  away  from  hotel  accommodations 
on  the  part  of  the  discriminating  motoring  public.

Auto  Courts — an  expanding  development. 

The  newest  development  in  lodging  facilities,  and  one  addressed 
particularly  to  those  who  travel  by  auto,  is  the  type  of  accommodation 
which  has  come  to  be  designated  as  an  auto  court.  The  modern  auto 
court  of  unified  design  is  not  to  be  confused  with  the  scattered  and 
heterogeneous  growth  of  cabins  of  every  type  and  description.  The 
single  detached  cabin,  even  though  containing  elementary  conveniences 
of  the  Chick  Sales  type,  represents  at  best  but  a  primitive  effort  to 
meet  the  modern  needs  of  the  discriminating  motorist. 

The  modern  auto  court,  too,  has  its  own  peculiar  advantages  over 
many  hotels.  When  under  competent  management,  it  offers  the  motorist 
the  maximum  convenience  in  pleasant  and  comfortable  lodging  ac- 
commodations. 

In  common  with  the  hotel,  the  well-operated  auto  court  possesses— 

(a)  a  clean,  inviting  atmosphere. 

(b)  restful  beds  equipped  with  comfortable  mattresses  and  supplied 
with  clean  bedding  as  well  as  clean  linen. 

(c)  full   lavatory    and   bathroom    facilities   including    plenty    of   hot 
water — plus  the  following  advantages  not  often  found  in  even  the 
newest  hotels — 

(d)  opportunity  to  retire  immediately  to  lodgings  without  being  sub- 
jected to  the  scrutiny  of  lobby  loafers. 

(e)  convenient  parking  or  individual  garage  immediately  adjacent  to 
your  lodging — necessary  to  unload  only  the  personal  belongings 
that  you  are  going  to  need — your  car  ready  to  go  when  you  are. 

(f)  quiet  location  away  from  traffic  and  city  noises. 

(g)  usually  cool  and  comfortable  by  reason  of  cross  ventilation — a 
real  advantage  in  sultry  weather. 

(h)   no  occasion  for  tipping — and  more  often  than  not  the  prices  are 
more  reasonable  than  the  hotel  rates. 

On  the  other  hand,  there  is  a  reluctance  on  the  part  of  many  gasoline 
pilgrims  to  patronize  even  the  modern  auto  court,  which  is  easy  to 
understand  because  this  type  of  accommodation,  especially  east  of  the 
Mississippi  River,  is  so  new  that  many  of  even  the  better  courts  lack 
the  reputation  of  a  first-class  hotel  and  the  guarantee  of  good  manage- 
ment which  a  reputable  hotel  possesses. 

Until  the  reputable  operators  of  auto  courts  organize  to  guarantee 
their  guests  the  same  security  and  protection  that  the  leading  hotels 
afford,  they  will  not  be  rewarded  with  the  enthusiastic  patronage  they 
may  otherwise  expect. 

ix 


In  order  to  attract  those  to  whom  this  modern  type  of  lodging  ac- 
commodation might  rightfully  be  expected  to  appeal  and  who,  at  the 
same  time,  are  willing  and  able  to  pay,  the  operators  of  auto  courts 
must  adopt  a  code  of  ethics  identical  with  that  prevailing  in  any  first- 
class  hotel.  (A  majority  of  course  do  so.) 

(a)  Only  guests  with  baggage  shall  be  accepted. 

(b)  Guests  shall  register  in  the  regular  way  and  remain  all  night. 

(c)  Drinking  on  the  premises  shall  not  be  permitted  and  questionable 
trade  refused. 

Guest  Houses — something  different. 

There  are,  throughout  the  country,  many  lovely  homes  owned  by 
people  of  culture  and  refinement  who  have  felt  the  impress  of  the  dim- 
cult  economic  conditions  which  have  surged  back  and  forth  like  waves 
over  the  country  during  the  past  ten  years.  Where  the  home  has  been 
built  with  a  number  of  extra  bedrooms  and  the  arrangement  is  such 
that  guests  can  be  accommodated  comfortably,  some  of  these  owners 
have  been  willing  to  open  their  homes  to  a  limited  number  of  discern- 
ing and  discriminating  travelers. 

The  development  seems  to  have  originated  in  rural  England  where 
a  number  of  the  landed  gentry,  finding  themselves  in  reduced  circum- 
stances after  the  war,  discovered  that  they  could  accept  a  few  "paying 
guests"  to  their  mutual  advantage.  In  our  country  this  type  of  accom- 
modation has  come  to  be  designated  as  a  guest  house. 

Most  of  these  people  who  open  their  homes  as  overnight  guest  houses 
accept  their  obligation  as  host  or  hostess  with  the  same  responsibility 
that  an  innkeeper  assumes.  They  are  usually  intelligent,  substantial 
people,  often  with  an  obvious  background  of  true  culture  and  refine- 
ment. Naturally  they  rarely  over-advertise  the  accommodations  they 
have  available,  preferring  to  depend  upon  friends  and  neighbors  to  pass 
the  word  along.  Pride  of  family  and  ownership  prevents  them  from 
opening  their  doors  wide  to  an  unfeeling  and  unresponsive  public. 

The  location  of  an  overnight  guest  house  is  of  extreme  importance. 
Preferably,  they  should  be  situated  adjacent  to,  rather  than  directly  on, 
a  heavily  traveled  highway.  A  location  on  the  edge  of  a  village  or  town 
is  an  advantage  rather  than  where  city  noises  are  heard.  It  is  all  the 
more  desirable  if  the  guest  house  is  set  amid  expansive  grounds  where 
ample  parking  facilities  are  available. 

It  should  be  remembered  that  an  overnight  guest  house  does  not 
surrender  all  the  rights  of  a  private  dwelling  because  it  receives  pay- 
ing guests.  For  this  reason,  to  bring  liquor  into  the  house  without 
the  host's  permission  is  to  violate  his  hospitality. 


The  average  "tourist  home"  has  little  to  commend  it  as  a  pleasing 
place  to  spend  the  night,  primarily  because  of  this  very  lack  of  con- 
venience. Neither  does  a  boarding  house  qualify  in  the  facilities  that 
one  expects  to  find  in  an  overnight  guest  house. 

You  should  not  judge  a  place  by  the  length  of  its  description  in 
"Lodging  for  a  Night."  If  no  comment  is  made,  it  is  usually  because 
detailed  information  did  not  reach  me  in  time. 

Photographs  are  included  merely  to  add  physical  interest  to  the  book. 
They  do  not  signify  that  the  place  illustrated  is  better  than  some  other. 

Space  and  the  expense  involved  do  not  permit  including  a  large 
number  of  photographs. 

An  annual  edition  contemplated. 

It  is  expected  that  it  will  be  necessary  to  publish  annual  editions 
of  "Lodging  for  a  Night"  in  order  to  insure  that  the  information  con- 
tained is  timely  and  complete.  Although  I  have  endeavored  to  ascertain 
the  latest  information  with  regard  to  rates  of  each  type  of  place  men- 
tioned, I  cannot  guarantee  its  accuracy,  for  rates  are  subject  to  change 
without  notice.  The  rates  shown  in  almost  every  case  are  for  two  people, 
and  the  places  listed  are  generally  open  all  year  unless  otherwise  stated. 

Not  a  complete  list. 

In  no  sense  is  this  book  offered  as  a  complete  list  of  those  places 
possessing  superior  lodging  accommodations  of  such  standard  as  to 
deserve  listing. 

Therefore,  in  certain  well-traveled  sections  where  there  are  a  num- 
ber of  places  offering  excellent  accommodations  of  the  same  type,  it  is 
my  plan  to  show  but  one  or  two  popular  lodging  places  of  each  class. 
Tastes  differ  somewhat,  even  among  the  discriminating,  so  that  while 
some  insist  on  the  utmost  in  de  luxe  accommodations,  many  others 
prefer  their  comforts  in  simple  style,  yet  with  cleanliness  and  con- 
venience unquestioned.  It  is  hoped  that  your  interest  and  enthusiasm 
in  this  quest  for  the  more  desirable  places  to  lodge  will  assist  in  making 
this  book  more  representative  and  complete.  Many  places,  particularly 
auto  courts  and  guest  houses,  failed  to  furnish  complete  information 
or  responded  too  late  for  publication. 

You  can  make  this  a  better  directory. 

Your  comments  on  the  places  listed  which  you  visit  will  be  appre- 
ciated. If  any  of  the  places  do  not  measure  up  to  your  expectations,  it 
will  be  mutually  helpful  if  you  will  tell  me  in  detail  in  what  respect 
they  failed.  On  the  other  hand,  if  you  find  the  accommodations  out- 

xi 


standing,  your  endorsement  will  serve  to  further  establish  their  merit. 
The  information  you  give  me  will  not  be  divulged  to  others. 

Finally,  a  word  of  appreciation  to  those  friends  who  have  co-operated 
in  the  preparation  of  the  first,  second  and  third  editions.  The  sugges- 
tions and  the  recommendations  of  places  they  have  already  sent  me 
have  been  very  helpful. 

I  hope  that  "Lodging  for  a  Night"  will  direct  you  to  the  most  desir- 
able places  to  spend  a  restful  night  and  thereby  add  immeasurably  to 
the  pleasure  of  your  trip.  I  am  confident  that  if  it  saves  you  one  error 
in  judgment  in  the  selection  of  a  place  to  sleep,  it  will  have  repaid  you 
for  your  investment. 

The  sale  of  this  directory 

depends  upon  word  of  mouth,  friend  to  friend,  advertis- 
ing. There  are  not  sufficient  returns  to  justify  a  general 
announcement  of  the  book  through  paid  advertising.  It 
has  been  interesting  to  see  how  many  friends  of  "Adven- 
tures in  Good  Eating"  have  accepted  "Lodgings"  on  the 
reputation  of  its  sire  and  having  observed  its  own  good 
points,  have  enthusiastically  told  their  friends  about  it. 
In  addition,  "Lodgings"  has  made  many  new  friends 
strictly  on  its  own  merits.  To  all  these  friends,  I  am  sure 
"Lodgings"  will  commend  itself  as  a  gratifying  gift  for 
holidays,  birthdays,  anniversaries,  vacationists,  travel- 
ers, as  well  as  for  bridge  and  contest  prizes,  etc. 

"Lodging  for  a  Night"  is  sold 

by  leading  bookstores,  gift  shops,  etc.,  and  by  many  of 
the  places  listed,  or  it  will  be  sent  (anywhere  in  the 
United  States)  upon  receipt  of  a  money  order  or  check 
for  $1.50  (no  stamps  please).  A  gift  card  will  be  en- 
closed if  requested.

Rates  quoted  are  those  given  me  by  the  hotels,  inns, 
guest  houses,  etc.  and  are  NOT  guaranteed.  I  regret  to 
say  that  in  some  cases  patrons  have  found  higher  rates 
quoted  them.  I  shall  consider  it  a  favor  if  my  readers 
will  let  me  know  of  such  charges  GIVING  FULL  PAR-

IF  this  directory  is  the  means  of  pointing  out  places 
where  you  may  spend  the  night  and  the  accommoda- 
tions and  services  are  satisfactory,  it  will  be  appreciated 
by  the  management  of  such  places,  as  well  as  by  myself, 
if  you  will  say  to  the  host  or  hostess  that  you  came  by 
reason  of  their  being  included  in  this  book.  This  will 
greatly  aid  in  gaining  a  wider  distribution  of  the  book 
through  its  sale  by  a  majority  of  the  places  listed.  Not 
only  does  this  insure  a  profit  to  them  but  also  it  will  pro- 
vide a  sufficient  sale  to  the  public  so  that  the  cost  of  pub- 
lication will  be  met. 


PLEASE  NOTE 

A  number  of  places,  though  not  listed  in  my  books,  have  put  out 
signs  to  indicate  that  they  are  approved  and  recommended  by  me. 

I  urge  you  to  look  in  the  current  edition  of  "Lodging  for  a  Night" 
to  ascertain  if  they  are  listed  therein  before  patronizing  them.

THERE  is  A  TELEGRAPH  SERVICE  not  well  known  whereby  a  traveler 
can  wire  for  reservations  or  can  send  stated  messages  home  cheaply 
and  easily.  Much  cheaper  than  standard  day  and  night  message 
or  letter  rates.  Ask  your  telegraph  office  for  detailed  information.

It  is  understood  where  pets  are  permitted  that  this  means  small  ones  only, 
that  they  are  house-trained,  that  they  will  not  annoy  guests  and  that  the  owners 
will  be  responsible  for  any  damage  done  by  the  pets.  Also  that  in  no  cases  are 
pets  allowed  in  dining  rooms. 

This  year  you  will  find  opposite  each  town  and  city  listed  in  the 
United  States  map  co-ordinates,  such  as  Shell  D-6.  These  co-ordinates 
refer  to  the  state  maps  which  the  different  oil  companies  issue.  These 
maps  may  be  obtained  easily  at  the  nearest  service  station.  As  far  as 
possible,  I  have  tried  to  designate  maps  of  companies  having  large 
distribution  in  the  states  mentioned,  as  Conoco,  Shell,  Socony,  Texaco, 
and  others. 

I  believe  this  feature  will  be  of  great  value  in  helping  you  find 
quickly  the  location  of  various  places.  I  shall  welcome  comments  which 
will  guide  me  as  to  whether  or  not  I  continue  the  idea  in  future  editions. 

PLEASE  DO  NOT  ASK  FOR  ADVERTISING  RATES 

in  my  books.     For  obvious  reasons,  I  cannot  accept  any  com- 
mercial advertising, 

WARNING  TO  PLACES  LISTED 

It  is  a  distinct  disappointment  to  me  to  learn  that  a  surprising  number 
of  people  have  gone  to  listed  places  and  received  free  meals  and  lodging 
because  they  have  claimed  to  be  relatives  of  mine  traveling  through  the 
country  to  check  on  places,  or  that  they  were  responsible  for  the  place 
being  included  in  my  book. 

Please  remember  I  have  authorized  no  one  to  make  such  demands 
and  they  should  be  refused.

Monterey  Peninsula 

The  best  way  to  enjoy  the  charm  of  Monterey  Peninsula  with 
its  fascinating  blend  of  romance,  history  and  natural  beauty  is  to 
take  the  famous  Seventeen  Mile  Drive.  If  it's  a  sunny  day  you'll 
understand  afterwards  why  tourists  leave  reluctantly  and  why  so 
many  come  back  to  live  here.  On  this  drive,  which  follows  the 
irregular  outline  of  the  peninsula,  you'll  see  swanky  Del  Monte 
hotel  ...  the  waterfront  of  Monterey  with  picturesque  old 
Fishermen's  Wharf  and  its  colorful  fleet  of  sardine  boats  .  .  . 
many  old  adobes  dating  from  colonial  times  when  Monterey  was 
the  first  capital  of  California  .  .  .  marvelous  views  of  the  blue  bay 
with  its  crescent  shore  and  the  Santa  Cruz  mountains  .  .  .  historic 
landmarks,  including  many  of  California's  famous  "firsts" — Colton 
Hall,  where  the  first  state  constitution  was  drafted;  First  Theatre, 
still  used  for  hilariously  given  plays  by  the  modern  Troupers  of 
the  Gold  Coast;  first  Custom  House,  and  others.  You'll  catch 
glimpses  of  enchanting  gardens  as  beautiful  as  when  the  Spanish 
grandees  lived  their  romantic,  lavishly  hospitable  lives;  and  per- 
haps you'll  remember  the  lacy  shadow  of  trailing  pepper  tree 
fronds  against  sunny  old  adobe  walls  long  after  you've  forgotten 
Monterey's  historic  data.  .  .  .  You'll  see  neat  little  Pacific  Grove, 
the  town  where  John  Steinbeck  wrote  "Tortilla  Flat."  .  .  .  You'll 
have  to  pay  four  bits  to  get  through  the  toll  gate  into  exclusive 
Pebble  Beach,  but  it's  worth  it  to  see  the  world-famous  Monterey 
cypress,  wind-blown  into  weird  shapes  .  .  .  Bird  Rock  .  .  .  Seal 
Rock  and  its  colony  of  playful  sea  lions  .  .  .  much-photographed 
Midway  Point  .  .  .  the  costly  marble  palace  of  the  Crocker 
family  .  .  .  Del  Monte  Lodge  where  movie  stars  vacation.  .  .  . 
You'll  come  to  Carmel,  called  the  "paradise  for  writers  and 
artists,"  where  you'll  get  glimpses  of  charming  little  homes  half 
hidden  among  the  trees  .  .  .  streets  without  sidewalks  ...  a  mile- 
long  beach  of  the  whitest  sand  in  the  world  .  .  .  the  house  where 
Lincoln  Steffens  lived  .  .  .  and  down  close  to  the  sea  in  a  rock 
house  with  a  tower  built  by  his  own  hands  the  home  of  America's 
foremost  poet,  Robinson  Jeffers.  .  .  .  You'll  see  Carmel's  business 
district  with  trees  in  the  middle  of  a  steep  main  street  at  the 
foot  of  which  the  ocean  rises  in  a  blue  wall;  where  tourists  are 
delighted  by  shops  as  varied  and  self-consciously  quaint  as  ingeni- 
ous architects  can  make  them.  ...  If  you  could  stay  long  enough, 
you'd  find  that  an  unusually  cultured,  mentally  alert  class  of  visi- 
tors and  residents  is  drawn  here  by  the  flourishing  little  theatre 
group,  a  community  art  gallery  and  the  annual  Bach  Festival,  as 
well  as  by  the  lure  of  Carmel's  exquisite  natural  beauty.  .  .  .  South 
of  Carmel  you'll  find  the  old  Carmel  Mission,  second  of  the  many 
started  by  Father  Serra,  whose  bones  rest  in  a  sculptured  sar- 
cophagus visited  every  year  by  thousands  of  the  faithful.

CANAL     ZONE 


A  tip  from  a  friend  down  at  Balboa,  which  is  not  bad  advice 
at  all. 

"To  get  located  in  a  place  in  Latin  America,  if  you  don't 
know,  inquire  carefully  as  to  the  'best  hotel  in  the  place  where 
all  the  American  tourists  go.'  Make  a  careful  note  of  it,  and 
keep  away  from  that  place;  it's  probably  a  sucker  trap.  Then 
inquire  as  to  the  next  best  place,  in  case  the  'good  hotel'  is  all 
filled  up.  That  is  the  place  to  go.  There  might  be  a  couple 
of  Number  2  places— find  out." 

The  "South  American  Handbook"  is  the  "Bible"  of  the  in- 
formed Latin  American  traveler.  Published  annually  and  costs 
$1.00. 

Get  water  you  know  is  good  or  boil  the  bad  water.  There 
is  nothing  sure  about  magic  pills  dropped  into  impure  drinking 
water. 

Get  typhoid  and  smallpox  shots  in  advance.

ALLURING  DAYS  OF  PLEASURE  AND  RELAXATION.  .  .  . 

The  following  information,  gathered  during  my  December,  1939,  visit  is  the 
personal  opinion  and  observation  of  the  writer  who  alone  assumes  respon 
sibility  but  assures  the  reader  all  recommendations  are  without  favor  and  foi 
your  best  observance.

MOTORING  TO  MEXICO  CITY: 

PAN  AMERICAN  HIGHWAY,  760  miles,  all  paved,  in  excel- 
lent condition.  Your  port  of  entry  is  from  Laredo,  Texas. 

Before  you  leave  home  be  certain  to  secure  Certificate  of 
Ownership  for  your  automobile,  carry  it  with  you,  as  it  must  be 
produced  when  getting  Automobile  Permit.  Carry  American  Ex- 
press Traveler  Checks,  as  they  are  the  best  known  and  are 
more  easily  cashed,  especially  in  the  smaller  towns  in  case  of 
need. 

Plan  to  arrive  in  Loredo  during  the  afternoon  or  evening. 
Next  morning  visit  the  A.M. A.  (Asociacion  Mexicana  Automo- 
vilistica)  office  around  the  corner  from  the  Hotel  Hamilton, 
where  you  will  find  a  well-trained  staff  who  will  attend  to  all  your 
entry  needs,  as  follows:  A  tourist  card  for  each  person,  an  Auto- 
mobile Permit,  and  I  urgently  advise  COMPLETE  AUTOMO- 
BILE INSURANCE  for  each  day  of  your  planned  stay  in  Mexico. 
Rates  are  from  50c  per  day  for  small  cars  to  $1.50  for  the  larger 
and  expensive  makes  and  will  save  you  much  annoyance  in  case 
of  accident  or  car  trouble.  Change  $10.00  for  each  person  into 
Mexican  currency. 

Leave  Laredo  not  later  than  noon.  At  the  Mexican  Customs, 
across  Laredo  Bridge,  you  must  unload  all  baggage  for  inspec- 
tion, after  which  all  bags  are  sealed  or  marked  and  should  not 
be  defaced  or  broken  as  there  are  two  inspection  stations  be- 
tween Laredo  and  Monterrey  where  you  must  show  your  papers 
and  if  asked  allow  second  inspection  of  seals  and  marks. 
PLEASE  REMEMBER,  you  are  now  in  Mexico,  another  man's 
country,  where  customs  may  be  strange  to  you  but  perfectly 
proper  to  the  natives.  You  will  always  find  English  speaking 
people  in  all  the  Highway  Towns  and  during  all  my  visits, 
NEVER,  has  there  been  a  time  when  I  was  not  treated  with 
greatest  consideration  and  courtesy,  and  in  case  of  trouble  a 
helping  hand  was  always  ready.  In  spite  of  many  stories,  lately 
printed,  gasoline  filling  station  employees  were  always  on  the 
job,  my  tires  checked,  windshield  wiped,  and  oil  and  water 
markers  looked  at,  and  many  of  the  stations  are  new  and  mod-

try and  enjoy  every  minute  of  your  visit.  The  following  towns 
and  places  of  lodging  are  listed  in  proper  order  as  you  go  to- 
ward Mexico  City.

twin  beds  in  the  average  hotel  will  be  from  12.00  to  15.00  pesos.  Ask  their

1  kilometer  is  0.62  of  a  mile. 

17  kilometers  is  about  10  Vi!  miles. 

1  liter  is  0.26  of  a  gallon.
